Change is Inevitable but the Future is Before You (Writing, Courage, & the Magic of Midlife)

Posted By T.H.Meyer | 0 comments

Ya’ll, I wrote about life after legwarmers and let me tell you, my “research” to refresh my memory back to the day (because hello, decades ago), was nothing short of eye soreness. Videos of what I used to know about health, exercise, and fashion made me cringe and laugh at the same time.

From our remote and cell-phone-less cabin in the Kiamichi Mountains of south-eastern Oklahoma with the provided grill smoking with Ribeye steaks, my words went live. I put all my ailments (ahem, post hysterectomy) in there, because we’re in this together, right?

As part of the growing community of over 45-er’s called The Consilium, I’m happy to be at Diane Bailey’s where we write about midlife and beyond. Because, for me:

There’s a certain magic to the midlife, even when one is fresh into it. Our 20-something years of establishing ourselves in the world, was work. Those years were the beginning of knowing how God made us, of knowing our own minds and the way God has gifted us.

Another thing: the end of this month, will be another ezine from the Sunday Circle Group artisans from Outside the City Gate. When it’s released, I’ll share it here. Stay tuned and subscribe at the bottom to stay informed.

Now, good reads for your reading pleasure:

On eating disorders: “I may not understand why He chose to do this now. But He often doesn’t work in ways we will understand. This is what I’m learning: the magic actually happens beyond the healing. As I walk away from an eating disorder and in to freedom I cannot help but point others to Him because it’s all because of HIM.” ~Beth Stiff, Throne of Grace
